FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

 
Schnucks to Acquire 19 St. Louis-Area Shop ‘n Save Locations 
Schnucks will also offer jobs to all union teammates at the 19 stores 
 
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 17, 2018 – ​Schnuck Markets, Inc. today announced that the company has entered 
into a definitive agreement to purchase 19 St. Louis-area Shop ‘n Save stores (14 in Missouri and 
five in Illinois). The transaction is planned to occur with a staggered close process that is currently 
expected to begin on October 7 and be completed by late October 2018. Schnucks plans a 
closure of only about two and a half days for each store – during which time it intends to rebrand 
signage and fixtures, switch out point-of-sale systems and restock merchandise before the store 
reopens as a Schnucks. 

“Schnucks is proud to be growing in our hometown of St. Louis, excited about the opportunity to 
serve new customers, and looking forward to welcoming the employees at these 19 stores to 
Schnucks,” said Todd Schnuck, Chairman and CEO of Schnuck Markets. “We want longtime 
customers of each store to know that we are eager to earn your business, and we’ll be working 
closely with SUPERVALU and Shop ‘n Save to ensure a smooth and successful transition.” 

Pending the results of any legally required background checks, all bargaining unit Shop ‘n Save 
employees will be offered a position at the same wage rate, working a comparable number of 
hours and doing comparable work. Eligible employees will also receive healthcare coverage and 
pension contributions consistent with union agreements. All Shop ‘n Save Store Directors, Assistant 
Store Directors, Pharmacy Managers, and Pharmacists will also be interviewed by Schnucks over 
the next week.  

“Our intention is to make a strong offer to the Shop ‘n Save employees at these 19 stores in hopes 
they choose to join the Schnucks team. They know their stores and their communities and will be 
an integral part of the conversion process,” Schnuck said.  

Fifteen of the 19 acquired stores include pharmacies, which will also be purchased by Schnucks, 
as will one standalone pharmacy in Union, Missouri. Each of the pharmacies will remain open 
under the Schnucks banner. Schnucks is also acquiring the prescription files for 10 additional Shop 
‘n Save in-store pharmacy locations and transferring those prescriptions to nearby Schnucks 
stores. Customers of the closing Shop ‘n Save pharmacies will be mailed detailed information on 
the transfer of their pharmacy files within the next several days. Information will also be available 
for customers at each pharmacy. 

Schnucks will also acquire four of Shop ‘n Save’s seven fuel centers. A complete list of stores, 
pharmacies and fuel centers to be sold to Schnucks under this agreement, along with a list of 
correlating pharmacies where prescription files will be transferred, is included in the addendum to 
this news release.  
As part of this transaction, Schnucks and SUPERVALU will enter into an agreement for SUPERVALU 
to serve as the primary supplier for nine of Schnucks’ existing stores located across northern Illinois, 
Iowa and Wisconsin.  

The acquisition comes on the heels of Schnucks announcing two other new store locations. 
Schnucks opened its Maplewood, Mo. location - which had previously been a Shop ‘n Save - in 
August. A new Schnucks in Warrenton, Mo. is currently under construction and is scheduled to 
open later this fall.
